apple picking.

mercer and the family went apple picking this past weekend at barton orchards in dutchess county, ny. there were plenty of apples (macintosh, empire, jona mac, rome, granny smith, golden delicious, and more), but there were also pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, peppers, berries, fudge, and apple cider doughnuts. the orchard also has a theme park, corn maze, playground, ponies, and lots of other fun stuff for kids and parents.

we stuck to apple and vegetable picking this time around, though. mercer had a blast picking the apples off of the trees and throwing them into our bag, but he also loved running all over the place. it rained the night before and mercer got plenty dirty. a good day when all said and done. the fall can never come too early.
